Lost In Translation, Indeed

On top of her recent collaborations with The Jesus and Mary Chain at Coachella and Justin Timberlake, actress Scarlett Johansson has set her musical sights on recording not one, but two albums: a tribute to Tom Waits, and her own official debut.
According to Steve Nails, Dockside Studio owner—where the latter album was recorded—the music comes across as "like a theater, big screen. Lots of heavy bass tones in it. Without a bass guitar, we used all kind of different instruments to create these sounds. It was a great experiment. Very avant garde. She sounds like Marilyn Monroe." Produced by David Sitek of TV on the Radio and featuring members of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, no release date has been set for the record.
